Sunday 4th August

Sunday 4th August

Not a great day, the odd shower but quite gusty winds and a bit too much for sailing so decided to go to St Ives for the day.
Drove over following the Satnav that took us down some tiny little twisty and winding roads that we were really glad we had not taken with the boat on the back. Parked at the park and ride only to find out Cornish park and rides mean you park and pay and then pay again to ride! At least it was bit easier than trying to find somewhere to park in the town.
I think everyone else had the same idea though in view of the iffy weather as St Ives was packed with people looking for pasties and ice creams. I left Viv at the St Ives Tate and went for a walk, two hours later I was ready to go as was Viv.
Came back and had a walk along the coast path at the back of the cottage and spent a pleasant 20 minutes watching a pair of Peregrines on the cliffs and for the first time perching in the top of a tree.

Monday 5th August

Weather still windy and gusty so decided not to chance sailing and walked into Helford along the coast path instead. Buzzards and Peregrines overhead as we walked.
Met up with Doug and some of his old buddies at the sailing club for a beer.
